I have published an asp.net application to a sub directory of my IIS application.

  • 0

I have published an asp.net application to a sub directory of my IIS application. I know that the web.config must exist at the root for several of the properties to work. So I have moved my web.config to the root of the application. I get the following error:

Could not load type 'ProjectName.myTypeName'.

I suspect that not having the web.config in the same directory as this aspx file is causing the issue. How do I config this so that my web.config can live in the root while the aspx file lives where I need it to?

Thanks!

    The application loads types from the /bin directory at the root of the web application. If your types are not in that directory, it won’t be able to create instances of them. You have a few options:

    1. Create an application/virtual directory from the sub-directory.
    2. Move the required assemblies to the /bin directory of the main application.
    3. Add your sub directory to the probing path of the application.
